Sámara is a beach town located on the west coast of the Nicoya Peninsula. Approximately a 1 1/2 hour from Liberia by car, and 4 1/2 hours from San José by car, too.

An island as well as many offshore rocks protects this long tropical beach. This makes it one of the safest beaches in Guanacaste for swimming.

Samara is popular as a family destination, and has an amazing variety of places to stay and places to eat. There are also numerous bars and some discos. As you arrive in the little town, you will immediately see the sea as it is just there in front of you, at the end of the road.
